labour leader sir keir starmer promises to cut net legal migration to the uk — he says businesses that rely on foreign workers should train british people to do the jobs. the end of an era — 30 years after the end of apartheid in south africa, the ruling anc has lost its majority for the first time. after another delay to the launch of the boeing starliner — scientists say they're hoping to try again in the next few days. real madrid are champions of europe again, for a record—extending 15th time, after beating borussia dortmund at wembley to make it a dream debut season at the club forjude bellingham. a rather chilly start, but for many of us another day of warm sunny

spells, although more cloud the further north you are, all the details shortly. it's sunday, june 2nd. our main story. sir keir starmer has pledged to cut levels of legal migration to the uk, if labour wins the general election. in a newspaper interview he set out plans to prioritise british workers and crack down on businesses that break employment laws. the conservatives said no—one believed the labour leader was serious about tackling immigration. our political correspondent alex forsyth has the latest. every year, people come to the uk to live, work or study. last year, net migration — that's the difference between the number of people arriving and the number of people leaving — was 685,000. sir keir starmer, who launched his election battle bus yesterday, has previously said that's too high. now he's promised to cut that number if labour wins the election, though he hasn't said by how much or by when.

he told the sun on sunday newspaper — read my lips, i will bring immigration numbers down, i will control our borders, and make sure british businesses are helped to hire brits first. the government has introduced measures designed to cut legal immigration, including raising the minimum salary needed for skilled workers. labour says it would pass a new law so the government, skills agencies and employers had to come up with plans to train british workers in sectors that rely heavily on immigration, and strengthen laws to ban businesses that exploit workers from hiring staff from abroad. the conservatives, who also launched their battle bus yesterday, said no—one believed the labour leader was serious about tackling immigration. the snp said labour and the tories had cruel immigration policies that harm scotland's economy. while the lib dems said they would raise wages for carers, because the sector was too reliant on workers from overseas. policies and promises about who can come to the uk to live,

work or study is proving another point of contention in this campaign. alex forsyth, bbc news. the conservatives are focusing on health policies for england today. they say they'll build or modernise 250 more gp surgeries, open more local diagnostic centres and expand treatments offered by pharmacies to cover conditions such as acne and chest infections. the liberal democrats say they want to reverse budget cuts in public health services provided by local authorities, with more health checks and blood pressure checks. and the scottish national party will launch their general election campaign today in glasgow. the leader, john swinney, will say that a vote for the snp is a vote to put scotland's interests first, and that independence would offer a better future.

of election rigging, said he was considering a demand for a full revote. the results aren't official yet, but they're clear. the anc has lost the outright majority it held for 30 years, the most dramatic political shift since the end of apartheid. this is uncharted territory. we ask for all electoral stakeholders to please remain calm, for leaders to lead this nation at this time and for voices of reason to continue to prevail. the anc was born out of the struggle against apartheid, the violence of white minority rule that kept black people separate and unequal. archive: there's mr mandela. i mr nelson mandela - a free man. the moment of triumph — nelson mandela released from prison, the first black president in south africa's new democracy.

so last time they were within two hours of launch. this time within minutes, four minutes. they're taken back to their quarters and then the investigation begins. initial findings suggest the system failed to allow a computer—controlled launch. those in charge need to find out why. this is the business that we're in. everything's got to work perfectly, like we've talked before. today we got really close. it didn't work for us. the team is very professional, they are in their 24—hour turnaround right now, and when we're ready to go, they'll be ready to go. when this spacecraft is ready for launch, its role is to take crew and cargo to the international space station. starliner is a brand—new spacecraft that looks like the apollo module used in the moon landings more than 50 years ago. it carried three astronauts, whereas starliner has a maximum capacity of seven. the spacecraft will take a day

to reach the space station when it will test out its docking and cargo transportation systems. the mission will last around a week and on returning to earth, the crew will experience starliner�*s landing system, which will touch down in the deserts in the south—western united states. the boeing spacecraft can only take off at fixed times to rendezvous with the space station. the next launch opportunities are sunday, wednesday and thursday. if the problem hasn't been sorted by then, the test flight will face yet another long delay. pallab ghosh, bbc news. china says it's landed an unmanned spacecraft on the far side of the moon. the mission, which launched on may 3rd, aims to be the first to bring lunar rock samples from the region which is unexplored. scientists believe the samples could provide new information about how the moon was formed.

people. and they have closed the blue lagoon tourist centre. it's not that far from the area. no word of disruption to flights, because remember eruptions in the past there has been problems with ash clouds, but no disruption so far thankfully. 6.13. here's simon with a look at this morning's weather. that is a beautiful picture. we had the red of the _ that is a beautiful picture. we had the red of the lava, _ that is a beautiful picture. we had the red of the lava, skies - that is a beautiful picture. we had the red of the lava, skies in - that is a beautiful picture. we had the red of the lava, skies in the i the red of the lava, skies in the north—east of england, stunning start to the day. it might be nice and sunny, nice and clear this morning, but quite chilly for some of us. temperatures in benson in 0xfordshire coming down about three degrees. elsewhere, temperatures about 5—10. if you are out first thing, you may notice the little

and as part of the commemorations a mass parachute drop will take place over normandy. next week marks the 80th anniversary of the d—day landings — ahead of the event, our reporterjoe campbell went meet three generations of a family with a special connection to one of the planes involved in the liberation. and as soon as we get south towards the english channel, the clouds are going to break up and get a little higher, so we should... the weather should be improving, the further south we get. just like on d—day itself, the hope was for a break in the weather. al reeves, my dad flew this plane... among the passengers for this trip, three generations of one family with a special connection to the plane. today, actually going over the beach...will bring me up. you know, he was a hero. didn't think of it very much at the time, since i knew that he died quite young, and much of this stuff i found out after he died. like many people in — i guess probably almost anywhere — they don't talk about it much. and they brought with them a special memento —

theirfather, grandfather, great—grandfather's diary for that day of days. talks about what happened onjune 6th, taking some flak, seeing some other planes go down. and it was also interesting that, when he landed, one of the things he said was, "i think i'm going to get drunk." it was just amazing to have his in—flight notes about what was going on during the d—day invasion. what were the kind of things that jumped out at you? well, one, that he wasjust a young man and that what he was about to embark on and his calm demeanour about what was about to happen — it was inspiring. this iconic image showed the allied commander, general eisenhower, talking to troops about to board planes, including that's all brother, which led the airborne armada from greenham common in berkshire. front, right, plf. prepare to land. land.

eighty years on, and those who'll be dropping from the plane into france were going through last—minute drills. the difference — they'll be parachuting in daylight, and not into enemy—held territory. it's one of the things that i think about a lot sitting in the plane is — you know, what was going through their heads 80 years ago when they were doing this and when it really mattered, you know, what did they think about? and no doubt many more will also be reflecting on those events as the anniversary itself draws closer. joe campbell, bbc news, with the d—day squadron. already so many inspiring stories with the d day commemorations. let's have a look at today's papers. the sunday telegraph leads with claims from the chancellorjeremy hunt that labour will betray pensioners again. his comments were made in reference to a gordon brown—era pension policy, which mr hunt says people will "never forget".

elsewhere, the observer reports that the prime minister rishi sunak has suffered a poll blow, as it says he faces "accusations of using levelling up funds to win votes". the paper claims that labour has opened its biggest poll lead since liz truss' premiership. and away from uk politics, the sunday mirror features the conviction of former us president donald trump, in a world exclusive with stormy daniels — whose hush—money payment was at the centre of the case. the paper reports that ms daniels says she is "vindicated" by the result, but that "the legacy of the trial will stay with her forever". a couple of stories from inside. favourite insect? no surprise, bees voted britain's best loved insect.

0yez! martin wood has been oyezing for four decades. he's won town crier competitions. he's even met every member of the royalfamily, except queen camilla. when did you realise that you had this big, booming voice that might lend itself to a job like this? just before i got thejob, i became a stand—in for edward woodward in the film christmas carol, which they were filming in shrewsbury. he basically taught me how to do the voice projection. i've actually been measured now at 151 decibels, and i've been heard a mile—and—a—half away. but what about the town criers of the future? 0yez, oyez, oyez! martin's got some competition. i was very nervous at the start, but i found all that to be a very good job and i really enjoyed it. so could adam take over from the big man one day? no. no? why not? even though i just... even though i like thisjob,

i don't want to do it again. a portrait will hang permanently in shrewsbury museum and art gallery alongside an exhibition celebrating martin's life. 0n speaking to martin during the sittings, i i saw a vulnerability there, as well, that i kind - of wanted to come through. ijust wanted us to show martin how much the town loves him and values him for everything that he's done for the last 40 years. whoever takes over from shrewsbury�*s longest—serving town crier — and whenever that will be — has a very hard act to follow. ijust keep going for as long as i can. and as long as the people in shrewsbury love me and want me, i'll be here. james bovill, bbc news. 0ur king! election campaigning has entered its second weekend and the parties are on the trail competing for voters' support. over the next five weeks leading up to polling day, we'll bring you reaction from across the uk. this morning, we're looking at porthcawl in wales.

this town is in the newly redrawn bridgend constituency. labour held that seat for 32 years before it was won by the conservatives in 2019 — making ita key battleground in wales. 0ur reporter nick sevini has been speaking to voters. it's the summer general election, but does it have the feel—good factor? or are we being offered up donkeys rather than thoroughbreds? i don't trust any of them and i don't think one is any better than the other, you know. so we'll see. we'll see whether they can persuade us over the next few weeks, what they're going to do. you've got to trust who's in parliament and you've got to believe those that are saying that they're fighting for you and want the best for our families. you know, we're working—class families, we want the best. cost—of—living crisis at the moment, we've got five children and it is very difficult. a day like this today is costing us a lot of money. it's that time when voters are offered up of all sorts of goodies.

the question is, do we believe them? the conservatives have been in so long, so we need a change. the labour party, i'm not sure if he's going to deliver what we need — especially in wales, but... i have... i will vote, i will vote, but i don't know who i can trust. personally, i would just settle for truth, honesty, integrity from anyone. yeah. just tell the truth. you know, it's ok, these magic words, but itjust sounds like a hot air sometimes, you know? yeah, on one level, it's not too much to ask, is it? no, just... just be tru... people can handle the truth. just tell the truth. don't make all these... even if the truth is, "do you know what? we haven't got a lot of money, and there's not a lot we can do"? yes! absolutely. because then you'd have trust in your mps then. yeah. at the moment...no trust. it's been blowing a gale in porthcawl. the parties — looking to bring some calm at a turbulent time.

nick sevini reporting there. 0ne one of the key election battlegrounds in wales. more news for you 7am. now it's time for the travel show. on a sunny day, a ride around paris takes some beating, that's for sure. france's capital is transforming. in a few weeks' time, the city will host the summer olympics and paralympics, and the organisers are busy turning landmarks into stadiums. so this beautiful building is the grand palais, and that is where the fencing and taekwondo are happening. still looks like they've got lots of work to do on it. the organisers of this year's competition have promised it will have a lasting impact on this iconic city. i'm steve brown and i'm here to find out how paris is changing.

from the suburbs... you can see it's really quite busy. there's so much hustle and bustle. ..to the seine... beautiful. ..and up into the sky. it's 2024 and this is paris. paris is already one of the world's most—visited cities. but this year they're expecting around 15 million people during the competition. here at porte de la chapelle arena, it's the start of olympic and paralympic week. merci, monsieur.

more than 4,000 children have gathered to try their hand at a range of activities, including para sports. i bet none of these kids have played sitting volleyball before. i mean, i never played wheelchair rugby before my injury. it's been a while since i captained team gb at london 2012, and i'm here to meet another former athlete. hey! hello, steve! how are you? are you well? ludivine won 12 medals for swimming. it's just my second moment in english since my life. no! yes, it is, so... well, you're doing very well. she's now the head of paralympic integration at this year's games. it's a very amazing opportunity. my name of myjob is how i can integrate the olympic and paralympic competition. like two parts of the same competition. yes. and is there a sense

of transformation in paris? do you think there's been a change in the understanding of disability? i'm sure. i'm certain of that. we progress on the children understanding of the disability and the para sport. well, like today, for me, it's a very important legacy to change the view of the different populations. 0rganisers have promised that this will be the most sustainable and inclusive games ever. wild cheering. that this summer of sport will leave a positive legacy across paris. he mouths. so they've scaled back on construction... ..up on accessibility, at least in certain places... i'm allowed on this one. big step. ..and invested in some experimental new technology to suck pollution out of the air.

to find out more, i'm meeting one of the inventors. hey, matthieu! how are you today, ca va? tres bien! this is matthieu gobbi, and this is one of his company's giant helium balloons. here at andre—citroen park, they carry up to 1,000 tourists a day. we're going to fly and make some readings. is it safe? yeah, of course it's safe. the balloon is going up and it is connected to the ground with a cable, actioned by a winch. so perfectly safe, especially with this beautiful weather. ok, so we can come down again in the same spot, no problem? hopefully. that is music to my ears. can you help me up here, please? is that 0k? yeah, sure. thank you, matthieu. yep, you're welcome. you're ready for takeoff? i am as ready as i'll ever be.

he—e—y! are you sure that winch is going to hold you? i guess so. yeah, we guess so, yeah. matthieu laughs. ifeel like phileas fogg. you are. look at that already, you can start to see the buildings appearing behind buildings. exactly. your view is getting further and further. yeah, yeah. oh, man! this is my first time up in a balloon, whether it's tethered or not. you've been doing it for 30 years. does it still feel exciting to you? yes, very much so. it is always different. so, ok, it's a lot of fun, but we're here for work, aren't we? there's readings to be taken. absolutely. we have an instrument

on board of the gondola, and they keep measuring the pollution while we go up. so every second we have the readings of the concentration of small particles and even, erm, greenhouse gases. wow. so is this a good day for pollution? today is a good visibility. pollution is pretty low. because. . .yesterday was very windy. but most of the time in spring or summer, uh, the particles get really high. in paris and in many other european cities, the air quality falls below the standards set by the world health organization. and even on a clear day like today, the balloon�*s instruments find unsafe levels of pm 2.5, the tiny particles of pollution given off by burning fuel in vehicles or buildings. it's been linked to a range

of serious health conditions. welcome to the office. thank you very much. but matthieu thinks he has a solution to improving the air quality in built—up areas. so there's a bar here? yeah. and p0p: p0p: p0p: p0p- easy. yeah. so he's invited me to his office to show me the designs for their new experimental air—purifiers. so this is where the magic happens, is it? yes, absolutely. wow! you see how it works? so there is a fan in the centre to suck the air in. and in this module we have the electric field, you know, to attract the dust, like a magnet. yeah. the air is cleaned and flows out in the centre. yeah.

looks like a spaceship. they won a tender to install some prototypes in the new olympic village. actually, it's part of the role of the olympics to boost innovation. is this a training ground for you to see how this works and where it can be used? yes, absolutely. according to matthieu, the initial results are promising, with daily readings of pm 2.5 around the village as much as halved. there is some wind, but... but there are still some limits to its effectiveness. this is only local. the first priority is to decrease the emission of pollution, of course. if this summer's trials are a success, matthieu hopes these devices will become a common sight in busy parts of paris... ..transforming the very air we breathe.

here we go! my next stop is the parisian suburb of saint—denis. you can see out the window here, the brand—new olympic village, and it looks awesome! wow. the memories of london are coming flooding back. the experience of staying in the olympic village is something else. just down the road, the stade de france will host the athletics events. but this isn't a destination that appears on many tourist itineraries, at least not yet. while saint—denis is rich in culture, i think it's fair to say that it's maybe not the most affluent area. in fact, this is one of the poorest

places in all of france. nearly a third of its residents live below the poverty line. the organisers of the games put the regeneration of saint—denis front and centre of their winning bid, so they're giving public spaces a face—lift. and, after the summer, the olympic village will be converted into homes for around 6,000 people. but this transformation hasn't been without controversy. to find out more, i'm meeting someone who's protesting this year's games. i've only ever experienced the games as a competitor, or as a pundit — it's always been very positive for me. it's going to be funny maybe meeting somebody that's got a different perspective. hey. hey, paul. hi. lovely to meet you. nice to meet you. great spot. looks like there's a bit of work going on. yeah. here you have the cathedral. and they used to bury royalty here.

i think they're getting ready for the tourists, you know, some renovation going on. wow! paul alauzy works for aid organisation doctors of the world, and interacts with some of saint—denis' most vulnerable residents. there's a lot of things happening. they are renovating the city, you know, to make it look good for the cameras. but on the other hand, we already know that there is gentrification coming up. we have homeless people. we have people from sudan, from afghanistan, they are being harassed and pushed away from paris, and their livelihood. their lives are being destroyed. so, tell me about your part in all of this. well, with the olympics coming, we built a collective. uh, it's called le revers de la medaille. and the goal is to, you know, try to hold accountable the organiser of the games. uh, they were promising the most inclusive games ever, i love it. social inheritance. come on, bring it on. like, we want that, you know?

they need to fulfil these promises. le revers de la medaille — or the other side of the medal — has become known for colourful demonstrations across paris. paul takes me to l'ile saint—denis, just across the water from the olympic village, to see a former cement factory. this is the place where, for us, a year ago, the social cleansing caused by the organisation of the olympics began. coming back is a bit cathartic for me because it's been a year, i haven't been here. so how did this look a year ago? it used to be the house of 500 people, and it was actually the biggest squat in the whole territory of france, you know? so, starting in 2020, we had a big community of african nationalities. it was quite lively, you know, there were so many bikes, some cars and scooters. also a lot of people, they were, you know, like, doing deliveries, that kind of stuff. for me, this was a base of autonomy,

and this was also a place where the people could stand proud. we are here. you know? and they kicked it out. five in the morning, you know, big lights and everything. and they kicked everybody out. they were here saying to the media that this is a humanitarian operation. of course, everyone is going to be housed for the long term. and they were saying that this was done for the security of the people. so, in your mind, they're making excuses and reasons that weren't valid. yeah, obviously, it's not. it's really 100 metres, right next to the olympic village. for them, it's not a pretty picture, you know. so, yeah, for me, its related to the games. paul's group have alleged that what happened here is part of a wider effort to clear the streets ahead of the games. french officials have denied any link, and the international olympic committee have stressed they're not responsible for paris's homeless policy.

i'll tell you a truth, 0k? i've only ever seen that shiny side of the games you talk about. i've stayed in an olympic village, with all of the privileges that come with being an athlete, and sitting and listening to you has really made me think about who benefits and how that benefit comes to a city. and i think we need to elaborate on that. like, you know, the goal is not to say, uh, "we should stop the olympics, cancel them." no, the goal is to say, "i think it brings a joy to a lot of people in the world." there'sjust the need to be, now, when we're going to organise olympics, the need to be social and, come on, i mean, we could do it. hey, hey. this is cool, eh? the weather can't make up its mind. one minute, it's raining and now look at it! blue skies.

beautiful. the seine is due to play a major role at the 2024 games. for the first time, the opening ceremony isn't going to be in a stadium, it's going to be here on the river — and the athletes' parade, believe it or not, is going to be a huge flotilla of boats. at least, that's the plan. it could be moved because of security fears, but the river itself is set to become one of the games' biggest legacies. for the first time in 100 years, the seine could open up to public swimming after the city spent around 1.5 billion euros upgrading its sewage system. athletes in the triathlon are supposed to take a dip this summer. so if the organisers hit all their targets, you'll be able to have a swim in the seine as early as 2025. swimming in the river isn't

for me, i don't think. i don't like being cold. i'm a fair—weather kind of guy. if it's 38 degrees, i might think about it. but how do everyday parisians feel about it? ha—ha. salut. bonjour. bonjour, steve. alex. raf. ca va? nice to meet you. 0h. thank you. rafael and his dad alex have a special relationship with the river. not for olympic games, but for usually every day. so how long have you been cleaning the river? since four years ago now. four years. he was.... he was nine when we started. they've become famous for fishing rubbish out of the river and posting about it on instagram under the tag raf—sur—seine.

so... and this is the magnet. yeah, this magnet is so strong, but you can try here. oh, wow! you're pulling the bridge over! wow! that's magic. and... but how do you pull it up? ah, just with the strength. so what kind of things have you found? let me show you. oh, come on!

in a top—secret location... ..raf and alex stow a selection of their most interesting finds. raf, this is some amazing bits. tell me about what we've got on the table. these are the eiffel towers that you see the tourists buy. so not very much age there, but this looks far older. what's that? it's supposed to be a lantern. that was in the beginning of the last century to light the horse cart. how does it feel when you pull something like that out on your magnet? very exciting, like, sometimes to start to... what's happened ? yeah. what's happened ?

over the years, they estimate they've pulled well over 30 tonnes of waste from the seine, including dozens of bicycles! but some of the objects are a bit more sinister. and, uh, we find maybe 20, 30 guns in the river. no way! yeah, i understand. in fact, the authorities have forbidden magnet fishing in paris because of safety concerns.

but in recognition of his efforts to clean the seine, raf has been awarded the city of paris medal and congratulated by president macron. i still have one nagging question, though. so, raf, are you going to be swimming in the river soon? no, no. definitely not. it'll never be clean enough. no. myjourney across paris is drawing to an end. but i have one last stop to make. i thought, while i'm here, i'd drop in on some old friends.

ryadh, what a fantastic surprise, my friend! when did we first meet? 2010? yeah. europeans. yeah, exactly. that was the first time we played against each other. yeah. and you were impossible to catch. this is a training session of the capsaaa wheelchair rugby team. my friend ryadh sallem founded the club. it's partly made up of former paralympians like himself and a couple of members of france's 2024 squad. can we go and meet the team? this is what the games represents to me. how are you? lovely to see you. i'm talking about the coming

together, the being united, the camaraderie. sorry, my english is bad. hey, that's all right. my french is bad. 0h. it's a draw. nice, easy! but i've seen probably the best of paris the last few days. i've been up in an air balloon. i've been along the seine. they've got some really big, ambitious ideas — cleaner air, cleaner waters. using the power of sport as a catalyst to create change — and meaningful change. but is ambition going to turn into reality? that's what i'm wondering, sitting here, reflecting back on the last few days. the answer lies in paris in 2024 and beyond.

good morning, welcome to breakfast. labour leader sir keir starmer promises to cut net legal migration to the uk. he says businesses that rely on foreign workers should train british people to do the jobs. the end of an era — 30 years after the end of apartheid in south africa, the ruling anc has lost its majority for the first time. after another delay to the launch of the boeing starliner, scientists say they're hoping to try again in the next few days.

real madrid are champions of europe again, for a record extending 15th time, after beating borussia dortmund at wembley, making it a dream debut season at the club forjude bellingham. and good morning. it's a rather chilly start out there, but for many of us, another day of warm sunny spells, although more cloud the further north you are. i'll have all the details very shortly. it's sunday, 2nd june. our main story. sir keir starmer has pledged to cut levels of legal migration to the uk if labour wins the general election. in a newspaper interview, he set out plans to prioritise british workers and crack down on businesses that break employment laws. the conservatives said no—one believed the labour leader was serious about tackling immigration. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth has the latest. every year, people come to the uk to live, work or study.

last year, net migration — that's the difference between the number of people arriving and the number of people leaving — was 685,000. sir keir starmer, who launched his election battle bus yesterday, has previously said that's too high. now he's promised to cut that number if labour wins the election, though he hasn't said by how much or by when. he told the sun on sunday newspaper — read my lips, i will bring immigration numbers down, i will control our borders, and make sure british businesses are helped to hire brits first. the government has introduced measures designed to cut legal immigration, including raising the minimum salary needed for skilled workers. labour says it would pass a new law so the government, skills agencies and employers had to come up with plans to train british workers in sectors that rely heavily on immigration, and strengthen laws to ban businesses that exploit workers from hiring staff from abroad. the conservatives, who also

launched their battle bus yesterday, said no—one believed the labour leader was serious about tackling immigration. the snp said labour and the tories had cruel immigration policies that harm scotland's economy. while the lib dems said they would raise wages for carers, because the sector was too reliant on workers from overseas. policies and promises about who can come to the uk to live, work or study is proving another point of contention in this campaign. alex forsyth, bbc news. we're joined now by our political correspondent ione wells. ione, what else can we expect on the campaign trail today? we have heard from labour's perspective, migration is their big talking point, big announcement today, but for other parties the focus has been on health. the conservatives announced a policy to

build 100 new gps but also free up millions of new appointments which they say could be done by expanding their existing so—called pharmacy first scheme allowing people to go to pharmacies for certain treatments. this was already rolled out for accessing things like the contraceptive pill but the conservatives say they would expand it for conditions like chest infections or acne at pharmacies as well and they say they would fund this scheme which they estimate would cost about £1 billion per year ljy would cost about £1 billion per year by cutting nhs managers and consultancy services to pre—pandemic levels. the lib dems are also looking at health, they say it is cheaper to look at preventative care rather than treating illnesses once they have occurred. so they say they would increase preventative services and health checkups particularly for people over the age of 40 but also infants, trying to diagnose

conditions before they need treatment, increasing things like blood pressure checks as well. a big day for the snp as well, officially launching their election campaign in glasgow, there are a leader ofjohn swinney will likely set out he believes a vote for the snp is a vote for putting scotland's interests first and for independence. that's what we can expect from the major parties today. plenty more election coverage after this programme. south africa's political parties are gearing up for coalition talks as the african national congress looks certain to lose its majority for the first time since the end of apartheid 30 years ago. 0ur africa correspondent, barbara plett usher, is injohannesburg this morning.

it had been a slow and steady day, and then, this. the former president, now the head of the upstart mk party, an unexpected challenge to the anc... ..already reeling from voter anger over economic mismanagement and corruption scandals. jacob zuma has created quite a stir here. he's made a rock star entrance. his party came third, with an unexpectedly strong showing, taking a lot of votes away from the anc... ..and still trying to take more. he announced he had evidence of election rigging, said he was considering a demand for a full revote. the results aren't official yet, but they're clear. the anc has lost the outright majority it held for 30 years, the most dramatic political shift since the end of apartheid. this is uncharted territory. we ask for all electoral stakeholders to please remain calm, for leaders to lead this nation at this time and for voices of reason

to continue to prevail. the anc was born out of the struggle against apartheid, the violence of white minority rule that kept black people separate and unequal. archive: there's mr mandela. i mr nelson mandela - a free man. the moment of triumph — nelson mandela released from prison, the first black president in south africa's new democracy. the downfall marked byjacob zuma. he presided over a period of rampant corruption. now he's making a comeback. the anc is still the biggest party, but it needs to find partners to share power. south africa now faces weeks of turbulent coalition talks. barbara plett usher, bbc news, johannesburg.

barbara, how significant is this election? it is quite significant because it is the end of an era so the main story is the demise of the anc and it is no longer going to be the dominant political force in south africa as it has been for 30 years, because voters are angry with its performance in government. the other big story is the comeback ofjacob zuma who not only presided over a decade of rampant corruption is former president but was convicted former president but was convicted for contempt of court. he swept into the convention sector last night amid alleged vote rigging so no one is sure what you will do next. the anc will have to find our power—sharing partner and it is not obvious who that could be. we are looking of two weeks of turbulent talks that will set the direction

south africa will take. today i think we will put a seal on it to because the results haven't actually been officially announced, so the result will be officially announced with all the big players in attendance. two right—wing ministers have threatened to withdraw from israel's coalition government, if the prime minister agrees to a gaza ceasefire deal unveiled by us president biden. it came as mass protests were held in tel aviv, calling on the israeli government to accept mr biden�*s proposed plan. hamas has said it will agree to the deal if israel does. police made 53 arrests after people without tickets tried to get into the champions league final at wembley. the majority of arrests were made for attempting to breach security, while five were for invading the pitch. more than 2,000 officers were on duty for the policing operation during the final. torrential rain has caused severe flooding in parts of southern germany. several districts in bavaria have declared a state of emergency

where roads and rail lines have been cut off, and some river levels reached their highest point for a century. scientists say they hope to have another go at launching the boeing starliner spacecraft next week. the mission, which aims to send astronauts to the international space station, was aborted yesterday just four minutes before take—off. 0ur science correspondent pallab ghosh reports. sta rliner. . . boeing's long—delayed sta rliner. with four minutes to go, the spacecraft�*s flight control said it was ready for launch. propulsion. go. hydraulics. go. pneumatics. go. but then the computer said no. hold, hold, hold. hold it. the flight was scrubbed, and out came the astronauts. what happens next is the crew has been disembarked from the spacecraft for the second time now. so last time they were within two hours of launch. this time within

minutes, four minutes. they're taken back to their quarters and then the investigation begins. initial findings suggest the system failed to allow a computer—controlled launch. those in charge need to find out why. this is the business that we're in. everything's got to work perfectly, like we've talked before. today we got really close. it didn't work for us. the team is very professional, they are in their 24—hour turnaround right now, and when we're ready to go, they'll be ready to go. when this spacecraft is ready for launch, its role is to take crew and cargo to the international space station. starliner is a brand—new spacecraft that looks like the apollo module used in the moon landings more than 50 years ago. it carried three astronauts, whereas starliner has a maximum capacity of seven. the spacecraft will take a day to reach the space station when it will test out its docking and cargo transportation systems.

the mission will last around a week and on returning to earth, the crew will experience starliner�*s landing system, which will touch down in the deserts in the south—western united states. the boeing spacecraft can only take off at fixed times to rendezvous with the space station. the next launch opportunities are sunday, wednesday and thursday. —— the next launch opportunities are wednesday and thursday. if the problem hasn't been sorted by then, the test flight will face yet another long delay. pallab ghosh, bbc news. china says it's landed an unmanned spacecraft on the far side of the moon. the mission, which launched on the 3rd of may, aims to be the first to bring lunar rock samples from the region which is unexplored. scientists believe the samples could provide new information about how the moon was formed.

now we can show you live pictures from a volcano on the reykjanes peninsula in iceland, where lava is continuing to flow after a powerful eruption earlier this week. very dramatic images. it's the fifth time the volcano has erupted since december. the fissure is 1.5 miles long and opened up near to fishing town of grindavik, in the south west of the country. most of the 4,000 people living in the area were evacuated in november, but some have chosen to stay. it's a really stunning image with the sun breaking through the clouds. there is the big tourist attraction blue lagoon, which has been closed as a safety precaution. the beauty

of what you might find in a temperate rainforest. so the ferns growing on the tree are what are called epiphytes, so that's plants growing on other plants. they can only do this because the conditions are so wet. this is the biggest example of temperate rainforest in the country. it covers 721 hectares and is owned by the national trust. now it's been declared a national nature reserve, so it can be protected and expanded. so being a national nature reserve means that it's — one — a massive celebration of how specialist habitat is, and — two — it's that commitment from the national trust moving forward to help better manage the woodland, to help restore it, to help reconnect it back up, and we're also wanting to engage the local community and national nature reserves are the perfect way to do that. temperate rainforests are what we're looking at 1% of the of this country and i've heard in the past that temperate rainforest is declining as fast, if not faster than tropical rainforests.

to save it, protect it, improve it and expand it will be wonderful. but what about the farmers who use the land here? they can be impacted when nature reserves are created if there are new rules on grazing sheep and cattle. these belted galloways graze within the borrowdale rainforest. here, the farmer, the national trust and natural england agreed to work together. i fought to be able to still graze that bit of the rainforest. i probably won't be able to graze the other bits, but actually over the years we actually have put the belties in some of the woodland to regenerate it for the trust. woodlands are amazing regardless of whether they're temperate rainforest or not, but as temperate rainforests, they host so many special species which we just don't find elsewhere. we're home here to some of the most incredible and rare lichens and bryophytes. you know, we're really a hotspot for anywhere else in europe for some of these species. so it's really important that we're

helping protect and manage them, because if we don't do it now, we will lose these species forever. it's thought temperate rainforest declined due to deforestation and natural climate change. the national trust says getting this status is a big step towards caring for and enhancing this incredibly special landscape. judy hobson, bbc news. we're joined now by rob stoneman from the wildlife trusts. if someone said to me are there rainforests in the uk, i would have guessed no. that was a real surprise. guessed no. that was a real surprise-— guessed no. that was a real surrise. ~ . ., . , surprise. we have an incredible climate in _ surprise. we have an incredible climate in the _ surprise. we have an incredible climate in the uk. _ surprise. we have an incredible climate in the uk. people - surprise. we have an incredible climate in the uk. people say l surprise. we have an incrediblej climate in the uk. people say it surprise. we have an incredible i climate in the uk. people say it is miserable — climate in the uk. people say it is miserable but we should celebrate it, miserable but we should celebrate it. so _ miserable but we should celebrate it. so in_ miserable but we should celebrate it, so in places like western scotland _ it, so in places like western scotland the summer is not that different— scotland the summer is not that different from the winter, incredibly wet winters but also pretty — incredibly wet winters but also pretty wet summers and so the

on some schools' budgets. rogerjohnson reports. they're used to the sounds of excitement in anfield. all saints catholic primary sits almost in the shadow of liverpool's famous stadium. the school has 461 children from reception to year six. over 40% have some kind of support for additional needs. all saints is a wonderful school. we've got wonderful staff, wonderful children. parents just want the best for their children. and if they know a school is positive and supportive and they can get support for their children and themselves, they will gravitate towards your school. and, as mrs marsden suggests, all saints has become such a magnet. its special needs numbers are more than double the national average of 17%. they've been rising across england — it was 1.6 million injanuary 2023 — partly because diagnosis is better. but funding to help schools provide

for children with additional needs hasn't kept pace. so there's a thing called notional funding, which is an estimate of what they believe a school in that area would need for the amount of school for special educational needs children but that's not able to be altered — if we apply for higher needs funding or we help the parents applying for an educational health care plan, there'll be additional funding attached to that, but it's never enough for the level of support that's required. and that means members of staff, teachers, have to spend time applying for pots of funding when they really want to be working with the children. a review of the system is underway and the expectation is that it will change. zoe's had eight children at all saints, some of whom have special needs. two of my children have had one—to—one throughout the school, which has been brilliant, a really good help. they've just constantly got the support there

and they're really, really good with everything, really. itjust means that i know they're getting well looked after, the care and the education that they need. i think there needs to be a change in tone. at the moment, it's a very much of a deficit model. it's around what they cannot do instead of thinking about what they can do. let's think about what is wonderful and special about them and accompanying them on that pathway so they can live a flourishing and good life. i remember when my mum was teaching children with special needs, how tiring she found it, but how rewarding it was seeing youngsters progress, often against the odds. that's not changed. it can be physically tired, it can be mentally tiring, but the rewards are, that's what makes it worth it.

incredible experiences. so they called me up. i was 18 and one month. april 1943. ijoined up the air force when i was 18. and i went to the infantry training centre at colchester. my speciality was guns and bombs. but that didn't matter. you're servicing commandos. you did anything to help anybody. we got posted to the 12 battalion, devonshire regiment. newsreel: these pictures take you right in among the men - who are putting dunkirk... the devons crossed to normandy on d—day. dennis and alan arrived the day after. once we got off shore, we had to wade in. as you come across the beach, the ground went higher. and we had lunch on that bank there. to get at it, unfolded like. first thing we saw, seven or eight pairs of boots sticking

out of these blankets. and then we realised they were dead soldiers. alan was servicing aircraft. dennis pushed inland to relieve paras at a bridgehead. there was a general stench of death over all the area like. it's important that people know about it. a lot of people, i'm not criticising them, they don't know about it. 12 of my 16 people in the sixth form went into the services. the others couldn't. one was shot down. one was drowned. and the other one, which was the one i still can't get over, was a captain in the tank corps and he was burnt alive in his tank next door to one of the airfields in normandy.

both men would go on to serve across the world. their memories still with them, 80 years on. well, itjust happened, and that's it. i mean, it's something you don't forget. dicken hooper, bbc news. you can hear more of those incredible stories in the bbc documentary available now on bbc iplayer. here's simon with a look at this morning's weather. rather fittingly, some ratherfittingly, some poppies. lovely puppies with lovely blue skies above it. a lovely morning for many of us this morning. this was the scene in kent actually this morning, so yeah, very nice indeed. it's not like this everywhere i have to say because we do have a few patches of mist and fog to contend

with. it's quite isolated but there is this foggy scene here in ceredigion this morning. you can barely see the other side of this river with that fog but the fog should tend to clear away fairly quickly. for many of us, a day of sunny spells but there is this cloud in the far north, it's a weather front, and it's going to move south and eastwards today bringing more cloud for scotland and northern ireland. with it later on, also a bit of rain across the far north and west of scotland. a bit of cloud in the south—east of england going to clear, and for many of us, we are looking at some warm sunny spells but later on we might see some higher cloud spreading and across many parts, making the sunshine turn a little bit hazy as we go through the afternoon. quite breezy conditions in western scotland. lighter wind in the south—east of england compared to the last few days so it is going to feel warmer here, 19—23 across southern areas, further north and west temperatures down a little bit on yesterday's

values, 14—16. tonight, that area of cloud will continue to be southwards, some light and patchy rain moving southward on that as well. but with all that cloud, tonight is not going to be quite as chilly as it was last night. temperatures and part of rural 0xfordshire down to two celsius. as we go into the week, it's going to be a little bit cooler and more unsettled, so we are going to see some showers or longer spells of rain. the reason? this area of high pressure will start to move away to the west. no pressure becomes more influential and, without, this weather front moving southwards on monday so it will continue to bring some cloud, like patchy rain, moving its way south across england and wales, but you will see brighter skies developing, breaking through that cloud for parts of england and wales. sunny skies developing across scotland into the afternoon. still a little bit breezy on the far north and temperatures here again, 14—18. 20 degrees around the north—east coast of england, so warmer than it

has been recently. further south, temperatures not quite as high as they will be this afternoon. and for they will be this afternoon. and for the rest of the week, welcome as i say, a bit cooler. that cold front moving south introducing this north—westerly wind, bringing some cooler conditions across many parts of the uk, certainly by wednesday. and low pressure is in charge, so it will bring more unsettled weather but high—pressure, lots of high pressure trying to stick on across southern areas so they won't be too much rain across parts of southern england and wales, with temperatures of 16-20 england and wales, with temperatures of 16—20 through the week, and the most unsettled conditions will always be further north. thanks, simon. it always be further north. thanks, simon- it is _ always be further north. thanks, simon. it is unseasonably - always be further north. thanks, simon. it is unseasonably cold . always be further north. thanks, | simon. it is unseasonably cold or typicalforjune? it simon. it is unseasonably cold or typical forjune?_ simon. it is unseasonably cold or typical forjune? it depends where ou are. typical forjune? it depends where you are- for _ typical forjune? it depends where you are. for the _ typical forjune? it depends where you are. for the south-east - typical forjune? it depends where you are. for the south-east of- you are. for the south—east of england it's been a bit chillier because we had lots of cloud, the northerly wind taking the edge off a temperatures so temperatures have been lower than average, but elsewhere, we've been around about average so far in the last few days. it comes on the back of me which was

this is the first frontal nude ever painted by a woman artist, so she was a groundbreaker. however, michelangelo the younger�*s nephew, who inherited the home about 50 years later, felt that the painting was too naughty to be seen. and so he called in a famous baroque artist, and he covered up the naughty bits with the drapery. last year, the portrait came down from its position in the ceiling so that it could be restored. but this is no ordinary restoration project. now, centuries after the painting was censored, technology can reveal how the artist always intended it to be seen. to remove these layers could pose a risk to the original that no—one is willing to take. the challenge was to unveil the work, not physically removing

the veils, but digitally. a range of photography and scanning techniques were used to read underneath the layers of paint. images from the most significant scans were then collated in modus explorer, a tool created specifically for the project. we did 32 different reflectographs that went deeper and deeper into the structure of the painting. since we were studying what lies beneath the veils, we were interested in seeing if any of the cracks actually follow the original paint of artemisia and we found this crack here goes along the edge of her right arm. what we're seeing in, outlined in white, is what we can see through the reflectograph image. so we could see the arms very well. it did penetrate through this lighter veil on the upper part of the body, but they couldn't read the very, very thick applications of oil paint, which the veils consist of.

to go and see what is underneath the veils, we had to use x—ray. everything is very cloudy looking, but you can definitely see the anatomy of her legs. yeah. you can also see her belly button that, at the start of our project, was not visible. the team also used the generative fill a! tool in photoshop beta to help reconstruct textures and colours on some of the areas covered by veils. it was able to take the information from all of the diagnostics and apply paint where it needed to be applied and create the image, but you have to use it wisely. you wouldn't want it to get too creative. revealing the original nude image wasn't the only aim of the restoration. two tiny micro samples were taken from the painting so that the restorers could find out what pigments artemisia used and where exactly they�* re located.

this enabled the restorers to choose the right materials and methods to use in the restoration. i'm finally about to see a version of the image as artemisia painted it in the 17th century. this is not quite finalised yet, because we still, you see, we still have some veil. i'm really curious to know what was your reaction when you first saw this image? oh, i was very happy. people will be able to access this through a qr code that will be here at casa buonarroti, and it will also be online. how do you feel artemisia would feel about this project? i think she would be very happy to know that people are interested in seeing what her original work looked like, and that we're doing our best to reveal that without damaging any of her precious paint. she would not have been happy with the censorship. i think she would feel a bit vindicated.

performs vocal exercises. places for performance. places, please. places. 0k, they're ready for you. good luck. thank you. your heart is racing. the adrenaline is flowing. this is your moment. it's time to conquer your nerves, face the crowd and let all that practice pay off. opera singing. some say it takes 10,000

hours of practice to become an expert. and forjosephine shaw, this performance is part of that journey as she blows our socks off with a rendition of sweeter than roses to a very unusual audience. talk to me about nerves. do you get them and how do you get over them? yeah, i get nervous all the time. getting over them, it's always a tricky balance. sometimes the adrenaline helps you, but also you don't want the nerves to affect your singing or your technique if you're getting all tense. researchers here at the royal college of music in london say that practising and then performing is very different to practising performing. and so, while it's difficult to get regular access to the real theatres and venues, they can simulate the experience here in their performance laboratory. and that simulation begins before they step out into the lights.

one of the things we've learned from our research is that our body's stress—responsed performance can be as, if not more powerful, backstage than it is onstage. it's that anticipation of performance where anxiety can really hit, and this helps us tailor our training to make sure we're not only preparing them for what happens onstage, under the lights, in front of the audience's eyes, but also how they're coping backstage. how do they manage that anxiety? how do they get themselves physically and mentally into a place where they're ready to walk out onstage and give their best performance? the parallel to that _ in the surgical world would be allowing surgical students to go through the processj of gowning up, washing up, i doing a preoperative briefing with their team and making sure that they're _ all on the same page. and once the students are onstage, george waddell can control everything. he can change the venue. he can change the reaction to make the night go as well or as badly as he wants.

the performance laboratory is running in unreal engine, the video game software. each member of the audience is an individual video games character. they all behave independently. and they don't all always show up. i got lucky tonight. and what's really interesting about this space as well is there are 64 speakers hidden in the walls and ceilings, so if you change the venue... his voice echoes. ..that changes the acoustics, which forces you to change your performance. getting that sense of the acoustic makes it not so huge a jump when you're then performing onstage, compared to in all the practice rooms we have, which tend to be a much drier sound. so when it's suddenly a much bigger space that you have to fill, its great to get a little bit of an experience of what it might sound like ahead of time. so there's the prep, there's the lights, there's the sound. but let's talk about that audience. it's a weird crowd in tonight, i can tell you.

we want to test our performers' focus. we want to make sure they can hold it together. so that might be very subtle. a little cough, perhaps. mild coughing. and it might be more dramatic. shhh! phone rings. the performer is expected to ignore this, i guess. that's right. and even if there's a momentary lapse, it's about then continuing after that. i mean, performers make mistakes. it's how they react after that mistake that sets apart the professional. for many of our performers, it's not actually this full house that is the most intimidating to them. it's perhaps when the marketing hasn't gone so well... spencer chuckles. ..and there are just a rare few in the audience. this can be quite intimidating, trying to bring that energy to a sparse crowd. i've been there! well, i think we all have, unfortunately! but this new multimillion pound performance lab is just part of the work the college has been undertaking to help prepare students for the real thing.

heart rate and breathing monitors measure activity and stress levels, and special glasses can even track the musician's eye movements to find out if they're being distracted mid—performance. he plays the xylophone. they also measure how dilated your pupils are, which can be another indicator of anxiety. now, it is possible to practise more thanjust musical performances here. public speaking, business presentations, the venue and the audience are ready for any type of rehearsal. and then, there's this lot. yes, you can even simulate an audition panel. george can make each of thejudges purr like sharon osbourne or sneer like simon cowell. so, what are we going to make of this little stand up routine i knocked up with the help of chatgpt? good evening. how's everyone doing tonight? i mean, have you seen those vocal processors?

they can turn a voice that sounds like a dying cat into something that could rival freddie mercury! how did it do that?! thank you. i think we've heard enough. yeah. yeah, i think i'll leave it to the experts. # love to me. cheering and applause. and that's it from us in the performance lab at the royal college of music in london. hope you've enjoyed the show. we're about to find out whether this lot have. thanks for watching and we will see you soon. cheering. oh! oh, thank you! thank you, thank you.

good morning, welcome to breakfast. labour leader sir keir starmer promises to cut net legal migration to the uk. he says businesses that rely on foreign workers should train british people to do the jobs. the end of an era — 30 years after the end of apartheid in south africa, the ruling anc has lost its majority for the first time. china says it's managed to land an unmanned spacecraft on the unexplored far side of the moon. real madrid are champions of europe again, for a record extending 15th time, after beating borussia dortmund

at wembley, making it a dream debut season at the club forjude bellingham. and good morning. it's a rather chilly start out there, but for many of us, another day of warm sunny spells, although more cloud the further north you are. i'll have all the details very shortly. it's sunday, 2nd june. our main story. sir keir starmer has pledged to cut levels of legal migration to the uk if labour wins the general election. in a newspaper interview, he set out plans to prioritise british workers and crack down on businesses that break employment laws. the conservatives said no—one believed the labour leader was serious about tackling immigration. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth has the latest. every year, people come to the uk to live, work or study. last year, net migration — that's the difference between the number of people arriving and the number of people leaving — was 685,000.

sir keir starmer, who launched his election battle bus yesterday, has previously said that's too high. now he's promised to cut that number if labour wins the election, though he hasn't said by how much or by when. he told the sun on sunday newspaper — read my lips, i will bring immigration numbers down, i will control our borders, and make sure british businesses are helped to hire brits first. the government has introduced measures designed to cut legal immigration, including raising the minimum salary needed for skilled workers. labour says it would pass a new law so the government, skills agencies and employers had to come up with plans to train british workers in sectors that rely heavily on immigration, and strengthen laws to ban businesses that exploit workers from hiring staff from abroad. the conservatives, who also launched their battle bus yesterday, said no—one believed the labour leader was serious about tackling immigration. the snp said labour and the tories

had cruel immigration policies that harm scotland's economy. while the lib dems said they would raise wages for carers, because the sector was too reliant on workers from overseas. policies and promises about who can come to the uk to live, work or study is proving another point of contention in this campaign. alex forsyth, bbc news. we're joined now by our political correspondent ione wells. ione, what else can we expect on the campaign trail today? we have heard from labour's perspective, migration is their big talking point, big announcement today, but for other parties the focus has been on the nhs. the conservatives announced a policy to

they say could be done by expanding their existing pharmacy services allowing people to go to pharmacies for certain treatments. this was already rolled out for accessing things like the contraceptive pill but the conservatives say they would expand it for conditions like chest infections or acne at pharmacies as well and they say they would fund this scheme which they estimate would cost about £1 billion per year by cutting nhs managers and consultancy services to pre—pandemic levels. the lib dems say it is cheaper to look at preventative care rather than treating illnesses. so they say they would increase preventative services and health checkups particularly for people over the age of 40 but also infants, trying to diagnose conditions before they need treatment, increasing things like

blood pressure checks as well. the snp as well officially launching their election campaign in glasgow, their leaderjohn swinney will likely set out he believes a vote for the snp is a vote for putting scotland's interests first and for independence. keir and for independence. starmer says a top priorityf him is keir starmer says a top priority for him is bringing the overall levels of migration down if labour wins the election. south africa's political parties are gearing up for coalition talks as the african national congress looks certain to lose its majority for the first time since the end of apartheid 30 years ago. 0ur africa correspondent, barbara plett usher,

is injohannesburg this morning. it had been a slow and steady day, and then, this. the former president, now the head of the upstart mk party, an unexpected challenge to the anc... ..already reeling from voter anger over economic mismanagement and corruption scandals. jacob zuma has created quite a stir here. he's made a rock star entrance. his party came third, with an unexpectedly strong showing, taking a lot of votes away from the anc... ..and still trying to take more. he announced he had evidence of election rigging, said he was considering a demand for a full revote. the results aren't official

yet, but they're clear. the anc has lost the outright majority it held for 30 years, the most dramatic political shift since the end of apartheid. this is uncharted territory. we ask for all electoral stakeholders to please remain calm, for leaders to lead this nation at this time and for voices of reason to continue to prevail. the anc was born out of the struggle against apartheid, the violence of white minority rule that kept black people separate and unequal. archive: there's mr mandela. i mr nelson mandela - a free man. the moment of triumph — nelson mandela released from prison, the first black president in south africa's new democracy. the downfall marked byjacob zuma. he presided over a period of rampant corruption. now he's making a comeback. the anc is still the biggest party, but it needs to find partners to share power.

south africa now faces weeks of turbulent coalition talks. barbara plett usher, bbc news, johannesburg. in terms of significance i will this affect the lives of south africans? the main story is the demise of the anc end for the first time in 30 years it will not any longer be the dominant political force and that was a verdict from voters at it for years of managing the country and the other big story is the comeback ofjacob zuma the other big story is the comeback of jacob zuma who not only studied over a decade of corruption but also appeared in court. and the election has not settled who will govern, the anc will have to share power and

find coalition partners but it is not clear that will be because the major parties in the centre—right and radical left are very different visions of the country from free—market economics to nationalising mines and banks so they have to come up with a working government in the next week. many south africans voted for change but they this is a real period of uncertainty and they want to see action on the issues they voted for. so we will see how that all plays out but in the meantime the election results first have to be officially announced and that is going to happen later today. two right—wing ministers have threatened to withdraw from israel's coalition government if the prime minister agrees to a gaza ceasefire deal unveiled by us president biden. it came as mass protests were held in tel aviv, calling on the israeli government to accept mr biden's proposed plan. hamas has said it will agree to the deal if israel does.

police made 53 arrests after people without tickets tried to get into the champions league final at wembley. the majority of arrests were made for attempting to breach security, while five were for invading the pitch. more than 2,000 officers were on duty for the policing operation during the final. torrential rain has caused severe flooding in parts of southern germany. several districts in bavaria have declared a state of emergency where roads and rail lines have been cut off, and some river levels reached their highest point for a century. scientists say they hope to have another go at launching the boeing starliner spacecraft next week. the mission, which aims to send astronauts to the international space station, was aborted yesterday just four minutes before take—off. the next opportunity for take is

wednesday. the vehicles are ready and we're really excited to go ahead with this mission. wejust need really excited to go ahead with this mission. we just need to go ahead when ready. china says it's landed an unmanned spacecraft on the far side of the moon. the mission, which launched on the 3rd of may, aims to be the first to bring lunar rock samples from the region which is unexplored. scientists believe the samples could provide new information about how the moon was formed. we will be talking about that with an astrophysicist just we will be talking about that with an astrophysicistjust before nine o'clock. now we can show you live pictures from a volcano on the reykjanes peninsula in iceland, where lava is continuing to flow after a powerful eruption earlier this week. it's the fifth time the volcano has

erupted since december. the fissure is 1.5 miles long and opened up near to fishing town of grindavik, in the south west of the country. most of the 4,000 people living in the area were evacuated in november, but some have chosen to stay. it is the town nearest to the blue lagoon, obviously i big tourist attraction which is being closed for safety reason although unlike previous volcanic eruptions are no reports of flights being disrupted having not sent ash clouds up far enough. simon has the weather. it has been quite cloudy in the south of england over the last few days

and quite cool. even with the grey skies colourful tractors and boats and the tugs and the fishermen. not perhaps as nice as this picture with sunshine and blue sky in ashton in makerfield. some cloud and best and fog but also for many of us scenes with blue skies and sunshine. fairly sunny for most of us today. you can see the satellite image where we have the clear skies but this weather front will move south—east and bring thicker cloud across northern ireland into much of scotland and some patches of light rain and drizzle in the far north west of scotland in the afternoon. high cloud moving south so while there will be blue skies this morning that sunshine might turn milky and hazy later this afternoon. quite breezy in the north—west of

scotland with the wind later in the south and east compared to yesterday south and east compared to yesterday so it will feel warmer. temperatures of 90 degrees to 23 degrees across southern england and south wales and fresher further north and west. this afternoon the uv levels, will be high. —— temperatures of 19 degrees. some light and patchy rain moving into northern parts of england tonight, not quite as cold as last night, temperatures around 11 degrees or 12 celsius. into the wicket will turn cooler for all of us, particularly from tuesday and wednesday with a mixture of sunny spells and showers, perhaps longer spells and showers, perhaps longer spells of rain for northern areas because this area of high pressure will start to move away to the south and the west and we have this cold front moving south during monday. we

will see cloudy skies and a bit of patchy rain moving south across england and wales but equally it will weaken so we will see sunny spells develop across many central and southern areas and the return to sunshine across much of scotland through the day. temperatures about 19 in aberdeen and 20 further south so not quite as warm as today but along the north sea coast will notice the difference, over the last few days it is be more like 15 degrees or 16 degrees. for the rest of the week low pressure will become more dominant bringing in this north—west wind bringing in showers and longer spells of rain for the time but mainly across northern parts so it's scotland and northern ireland that will see the majority of the rain and temperatures about 13 degrees to 15 or 16 degrees. a bit more dry for england and wales and whilst there will be some showers it will not be desperately wet and sunny spells were

temperatures between 16 and 20 celsius. ticketmaster said it's working to mitigate the risk to customers, after hackers claimed to have stolen the details of more than 560 million users. the company confirmed �*unauthorised activity�* on its database, but has not said how many people are affected. our business reporter simon browning has the latest. ticketmaster — one of the biggest ticket platforms in the world. it�*s where you buy your chance to see the biggest showbiz stars on the planet. music, festivals, comedy, theatre — they�*re all for sale here. but now, after what could be one of the biggest data

breaches in history, personal information could now be on sale, too. on saturday morning, live nation — ticketmaster�*s owners — confirmed they�*d been a victim of unauthorised activity on its data base. shinyhunters — a hacking group — claims to have 560 million customers�* personal details, and partial credit—card information. this number is still to be confirmed. the hackers want half a million dollars in ransom. with millions using ticketmaster for tours like taylor swift or bruce springsteen, social—media users have expressed concern about their accounts and tickets. they will be looking to exploit this, potentially... cybersecurity experts are warning opportunistic scammers will now be trying to exploit concern about the breach. if you receive an email, if you receive a text message, if you receive a whatsapp message that in any way talks about this — this breach and this hack — be very, very careful. the second thing, don�*t click links — don�*t click on any link that you receive through email or text message or whatsapp whatsoever. and the third thing is — especially if you click on that link and it says "enter your details to check if you were in the breach" or something like that, do not do that.

ticketmaster says it�*s working to mitigate the risk to those affected, and will contact its users with respect to unauthorised access to personal information. simon browning, bbc news. we arejoined by an we are joined by an expert we arejoined by an expert in we are joined by an expert in cyber security. we first got wind of this on thursday morning. why has it taken so long for them to confirm this has happened? in taken so long for them to confirm this has happened?— this has happened? in practical terms it can — this has happened? in practical terms it can take _ this has happened? in practical terms it can take a _ this has happened? in practical terms it can take a bit - this has happened? in practical terms it can take a bit of- this has happened? in practical terms it can take a bit of time | this has happened? in practical. terms it can take a bit of time to work out what is going on but the clock is ticking because of the uk and in europe if you�*re a company that has suffered a data breach you hold people that personal data you have just 70 hours to inform the information commissioner in the uk and start informing customers but in reality all we have had since thursday is our claim from the hackers or somebody acting on behalf

of the hackers trying to sell this data. it takes a lot of analysis to dig down into the weeds of that but at the same time as some of your social media users were expressing, the company could have reached out and at least said we are looking into it, we have seen there are some claims in the hacking forums, we will get back to you as soon as we know what has been happening. the hackers are seeing they have potentially got half a billion accounts, this is notjust the uk are necessarily europe, it could be worldwide if the figures are to be believed. ., �* . worldwide if the figures are to be believed. . �* , ., ., ., ,., believed. that's right and that also re tort the believed. that's right and that also report the attack _ believed. that's right and that also report the attack is _ believed. that's right and that also report the attack is linked - believed. that's right and that also report the attack is linked to i believed. that's right and that also report the attack is linked to an i report the attack is linked to an announced on friday into santander bank where the hackers are asking for $2 million for the actual claim to have full account details for 30 million customers and card details for many more. why are they linked?

because those companies use the same online storage service and the claim is hackers of used and employees login details to gain access so i think it is only fair to expect me see more announcements from other companies using the same service. in which case, given the numbers affected there will be people watching this morning wondering if the bot something from ticketmaster our customers of santander, what can they do to protect themselves? don�*t they do to protect themselves? don't tanic, tood they do to protect themselves? don't panic. good basic _ they do to protect themselves? dm�*t panic, good basic cybersecurity measures apply and will protect you from most threats. firstly, there is no suggestion that account passwords have been compromised. that said, it is always good hygiene to change your password your account may have been included as your correspondent

attacks and third—party it suppliers are becoming more common. it means companies like ticketmaster and santander have to make sure not only they are secure but all the companies they outsource to are also secure and if we look at a company like ticketmaster they have suffered several high—profile breaches of customer data in the last ten years and it was fined £1.25 million by the uk information commissioner in 2020 and that was for a third party hack because the chat bought on its website was hacked. so the buck stops with the company we give data to, not with the companies they are outsourcing to. is to, not with the companies they are outsourcing to-_ outsourcing to. is that any potential _ outsourcing to. is that any potential for _ outsourcing to. is that any potential for payment i outsourcing to. is that any i potential for payment systems to come up with the way we don�*t have to put our credit card details and every time and it could be done in a way avoiding that?—

been speaking to voters. it's the summer general election, but does it have the feel—good factor? or are we being offered up donkeys rather than thoroughbreds? i don't trust any of them and i don't think one is any better than the other, you know. so we'll see. we'll see whether they can persuade us over the next few weeks, what they're going to do. you've got to trust who's in parliament and you've got to believe those that are saying that they're fighting for you and want the best for our families. you know, we're working—class families, we want the best. cost—of—living crisis at the moment, we've got five children and it is very difficult. a day like this today is costing us a lot of money. it's that time when voters are offered up of all sorts of goodies. the question is, do we believe them? the conservatives have been in so long, so we need a change.

the labour party, i'm not sure if he's going to deliver what we need — especially in wales, but... i have... i will vote, i will vote, but i don't know who i can trust. personally, i would just settle for truth, honesty, integrity from anyone. yeah. just tell the truth. you know, it's ok, these magic words, but itjust sounds like a lot of hot air sometimes, you know? yeah, on one level, it's not too much to ask, is it? no, just... just be tru... people can handle the truth. just tell the truth. don't make all these... even if the truth is, "do you know what? we haven't got a lot of money, and there's not a lot we can do"? yes! absolutely. because then you'd have trust in your mps then. yeah. at the moment...no trust. it's been blowing a gale in porthcawl. the parties — looking to bring some calm at a turbulent time. nick sevini reporting there. time now to find out what's happening in the world of sport. a good day at wembley. hardly a

2-0! an iconic win in an iconic venue. bellingham, who dreamed of moments like this, now living that dream. what a remarkable season it's been for 20—year—old jude bellingham. hard to believe thatjust four years ago he was making his debut for birmingham city. and they say that winning can become a habit. surely that's good news for england, because he's going to be a key, key player when it comes to the european championships, ironically, in germany in a few weeks' time. nesta macgregor, bbc news at wembley. all great champions find a way to win, that's not just true of real madrid but of novak djokovic too. chasing what would be a record breaking 25th grand slam title at the french open he's survived a scare to reach the fourth round after beating italy's lorenzo mussetti in five sets with the match finishing atjust gone three o'clock this morning paris time. also battling through after a grueling encounter, alexander zverev, bottom of your screen —

our reporterjoe campbell went to meet three generations of a family with a special connection to one of the planes involved in the liberation. and as soon as we get south towards the english channel, the clouds are going to break up and get a little higher, so we should... the weather should be improving, the further south we get. just like on d—day itself, the hope was for a break in the weather. al reeves, my dad flew this plane... among the passengers for this trip, three generations of one family with a special connection to the plane. today, actually going over the beach...will bring me up. you know, he was a hero. didn't think of it very much at the time, since i knew that he died quite young, and much of this stuff i found out after he died. like many people in — i guess probably almost anywhere — they don't talk about it much.

and they brought with them a special memento — theirfather, grandfather, great—grandfather's diary for that day of days. talks about what happened onjune 6th, taking some flak, seeing some other planes go down. and it was also interesting that, when he landed, one of the things he said was, "i think i'm going to get drunk." it was just amazing to have his in—flight notes about what was going on during the d—day invasion. what were the kind of things that jumped out at you? well, one, that he wasjust a young man and that what he was about to embark on and his calm demeanour about what was about to happen — it was inspiring. this iconic image showed the allied commander, general eisenhower, talking to troops about to board planes, including that's all brother, which led the airborne armada from greenham common in berkshire. front, right, plf. prepare to land.

land. eight years on, and those who'll be dropping from the plane into france were going through last—minute drills. the difference — they'll be parachuting in daylight, and not into enemy—held territory. it's one of the things that i think about a lot sitting in the plane is — you know, what was going through their heads 80 years ago when they were doing this and when it really mattered, you know, what did they think about? and no doubt many more will also be reflecting on those events as the anniversary itself draws closer. joe campbell, bbc news, with the d—day squadron. those commemorations in normandy on thursday and of course in portsmouth on wednesday. so many inspiring stories. remembering was going to these people's minds as they were doing it for real 8o these people's minds as they were doing it for real 80 years ago. incredible stories. special coverage of those events will be right here on bbc breakfast. here's simon with a look at this

morning's weather. you spoiled us with some beautiful images this morning. yes. you spoiled us with some beautiful images this morning.— you spoiled us with some beautiful images this morning. yes, loads of weather watcher _ images this morning. yes, loads of weather watcher photos _ images this morning. yes, loads of weather watcher photos coming - images this morning. yes, loads of weather watcher photos coming in | images this morning. yes, loads of i weather watcher photos coming in of the blue skies and sunshine. this is the blue skies and sunshine. this is the satellite image and you can see there isn't much cloud across the uk, so spot of these bits of cloud care, the whiteness is mist and fog which is clearing away, across parts of east anglia and the far north and west, but you can see for most of us it's a nice start to the day. good morning. we've had lots of photos. like this one here, a gorgeous start to the day in bakersfield this morning and for many of us seems like that with those clear skies. the cloud in the south—east of england and east anglia will tend to clear away. thickening cloud in northern and western areas and patchy like rain moving into northern and western areas of scotland into the afternoon. we might see some high cloud spreading south but making the sunshine turn a little bit hazy later on this afternoon. quite gusty winds, brisk

winds in the west of scotland. lighter winds, though, winds in the west of scotland. lighterwinds, though, ran winds in the west of scotland. lighter winds, though, ran the north sea coasts so as a result it will be a little bit warmer than the last couple of days with temperatures across southern areas, 22—23. 14—17 further north. uv levels will be low where you have got cloud, but for much of england and wales, uv levels will be high through this afternoon. of course, we are racing towards the summer solstice by the end ofjune. for tonight, the cloud continuing across scotland, northern ireland, spreading southwards. outbreaks of rain moving south with that, as well, but with more cloud tonight, compared to last night, not quite as chilly if you are up first thing tomorrow morning and we'll see those temperatures down to 11—12. as we go through the week, a bit more unsettled, turning cooler as well, with temperatures coming down by a few degrees, not desperately chilly, but still a change from today. there will be some sunshine and showers together that, as well. high pressure just slipping away to the south—west and this cold front

moving south across scotland and northern ireland throughout monday continuing to move south as the day goes on, bringing some very light and patchy rain for some, but also some sunny spells across wales, the midlands and southern areas and the sunshine returns across scotland into the afternoon. still quite breezy across scotland on monday. the temperatures here about 12—11i. 19 degrees in aberdeen. further south, not quite as warm as today, but even with some sunny spells from time to time, that's still going to feel quite pleasant especially on the north sea coast with temperatures about 20. so then, the cooler air, temperatures about 20. so then, the coolerair, i temperatures about 20. so then, the cooler air, i say cooler because it is not going to be desperately told, as i mentioned, will move southwards and eastwards, bumping them our day away by wednesday. with that north—easterly wind, no pressure in the north will bring in some showers come outbreaks of rain in particular towards scotland and northern ireland, further south it will be drier. for england and wales, not a great deal of rain. temperatures down by a little bit, 17—20 with

some sunshine. much of the rain will be focused on scotland and northern ireland, but a bit more shall relate in the week. ireland, but a bit more shall relate in the week-— ireland, but a bit more shall relate in the week. maybe 'ust a chance to net our in the week. maybe 'ust a chance to get your shorts — in the week. maybe 'ust a chance to get your shorts and — in the week. maybe just a chance to get your shorts and t-shirt - in the week. maybe just a chance to get your shorts and t-shirt on. - get your shorts and t—shirt on. 100%. i get your shorts and t-shirt on. 10096. ., , ., ., get your shorts and t-shirt on. 10096. .,, ., ., ,._ get your shorts and t-shirt on. 10096. ., ., ., 10096. i was going to say if you are feelin: 10096. i was going to say if you are feeling brave _ 10096. i was going to say if you are feeling brave but _ 10096. i was going to say if you are feeling brave but that's _ 10096. i was going to say if you are feeling brave but that's decided i feeling brave but that's decided definitely. thank you. if you want to become a town crier, you need to know how to stand out from a crowd — and luckily for martin wood, he's seven foot two. well, martin's been announcing major events in shrewsbury for 110 years — and to mark the occasion an exhibition is being held in his honour. james bovill went to meet him. when you're seven foot two inches tall with a voice... 0yez, oyez! ..louder than pneumatic drill, attracting attention isn't difficult. thank you. it's definitely very different from what we have in the states. he's very tall, very colourful, and it'sjust...

it was really special to see. i'm glad i got to see it. oyez! martin wood has been oyezing for four decades. he's won town crier competitions. he's even met every member of the royalfamily, except queen camilla. when did you realise that you had this big, booming voice that might lend itself to a job like this? just before i got thejob, i became a stand—in for edward woodward in the film a christmas carol, which they were filming in shrewsbury. he basically taught me how to do the voice projection. i've actually been measured now at 151 decibels, and i've been heard a mile—and—a—half away. but what about the town criers of the future? 0yez, oyez, oyez! martin's got some competition. i was very nervous at the start, but i found all that to be a very good job and i really enjoyed it. so could adam take over from the big man one day? no. no?

why not? even though i just... even though i like thisjob, i don't want to do it again. a portrait will hang permanently in shrewsbury museum and art gallery alongside an exhibition celebrating martin's life. on speaking to martin during the sittings, i i saw a vulnerability there, as well, that i kind - of wanted to come through. ijust wanted us to show martin how much the town loves him and values him for everything that he's done for the last 40 years. whoever takes over from shrewsbury�*s longest—serving town crier — and whenever that will be — has a very hard act to follow. ijust keep going for as long as i can. and as long as the people in shrewsbury love me and want me, i'll be here. james bovill, bbc news. our king! i think ithink adam, i think adam, the young lad, might be a i think adam, the young lad, might be a future i think adam, the young lad, might be a future town i think adam, the young lad, might be a future town crier. i think adam, the young lad, might be a future town crier. i i think adam, the young lad, might be a future town crier. i think we've seen a star in the making. he wasn't too sure. but i'm hoping he

changes his mind. he has got skills. the background to change somewhat so we are going out of this world completely and utterly. scientists say they hope to have another go at launching the boeing starliner spacecraft next week. the mission, which aims to send astronauts to the international space station, was aborted yesterday just [i minutes before take—off. our science correspondent pallab ghosh reports. sta rliner. . . boeing's long—delayed starliner. with four minutes to go, the spacecraft�*s flight control said it was ready for launch. propulsion. go. hydraulics. go. pneumatics. go. but then the computer said no. hold, hold, hold. hold it. the flight was scrubbed, and out came the astronauts. what happens next is the crew has been disembarked from the spacecraft for the second time now. so last time they were within two hours of launch. this time within minutes, four minutes.

they're taken back to their quarters and then the investigation begins. initial findings suggest the system failed to allow a computer—controlled launch. those in charge need to find out why. this is the business that we're in. everything's got to work perfectly, like we've talked before. today we got really close. it didn't work for us. the team is very professional, they are in their 24—hour turnaround right now, and when we're ready to go, they'll be ready to go. when this spacecraft is ready for launch, its role is to take crew and cargo to the international space station. starliner is a brand—new spacecraft that looks like the apollo module used in the moon landings more than 50 years ago. it carried three astronauts, whereas starliner has a maximum capacity of seven. the spacecraft will take a day to reach the space station when it will test out its docking and cargo transportation systems. the mission will last around a week and on returning to earth, the crew will

experience starliner�*s landing system, which will touch down in the deserts in the south—western united states. the boeing spacecraft can only take off at fixed times to rendezvous with the space station. the next launch opportunities are wednesday and thursday. if the problem hasn't been sorted by then, the test flight will face yet another long delay. pallab ghosh, bbc news. we'rejoined now by dr eamonn kerins, from thejodrell bank centre for astrophysics. thank you for coming and joining us here. so take us through what happened. four minutes to go, everybody is strapped in, the countdown is about to start and then it's all called off. what is your best guess as to what happened? it must have felt so disappointing for the astronauts but what appeared to happen is at around about four minutes there is an automatic old and at that stage three linked computers that located at the launch

pad and they are responsible for the final few minutes and the actual launch sequence, so it's a grand launch sequence, so it's a grand launch sequence. these three computers have to all agree at the same time on everything that's going on and it appears one of them were slightly late in syncing with the other two, they don't yet know why thatis, other two, they don't yet know why that is, but that was enough to trigger a hold and once the hold happens, it's an automatic at least 24—hour delay. happens, it's an automatic at least 24-hour delay-— 24-hour delay. we've seen lots of launches recently _ 24-hour delay. we've seen lots of launches recently but _ 24-hour delay. we've seen lots of launches recently but when i 24-hour delay. we've seen lots of| launches recently but when there's people on board there a whole different right?— people on board there a whole different right? absolutely. so there is a brand-new - different right? absolutely. so there is a brand-new craft, i different right? absolutely. so i there is a brand-new craft, that's there is a brand—new craft, that's there is a brand—new craft, that's the boeing star liner and nasa has only ever had six distinct spacecrafts to launch humans, so we had mercury, gemini, apollo missions, the shuttle, recently elon musk�*s dragon to capsule, and now

this is the sixth. nasser is looking for, you know, cheaper and better ways and more options to get people to the international space station so everything has got to be right on this first launch and the rocket that propels it up, as well, the first type, although it's a well used rocket, is the first time it's been used to launch humans. irate used rocket, is the first time it's been used to launch humans. we saw imaaes been used to launch humans. we saw images from — been used to launch humans. we saw images from yesterday _ been used to launch humans. we saw images from yesterday when - been used to launch humans. we saw images from yesterday when it i been used to launch humans. we saw images from yesterday when it was i images from yesterday when it was all meant to happen. before that we saw an animation of what was supposed to happen. when they cancel a launch like that, presumably there is a lot of cost involved? absolutely. first of all, there's that wait around for those astronauts, those poor astronauts have already been on—board for a few hours before the launch, and they have to wait for everything to be made safe. and then they have got to take out all the fuel from the rockets and then the crew, ground crew can access the computers to try to find out what's going on, so it's incredibly expensive. they were hoping to get it back up later today but i think that is also shelved and

it's looking like the next opportunity as may be next wednesday or thursday. opportunity as may be next wednesday or thursda . ~ ., , opportunity as may be next wednesday or thursda . ~ . , ., ., , or thursday. what is the aim of this mission? well, _ or thursday. what is the aim of this mission? well, apart— or thursday. what is the aim of this mission? well, apart trialling i or thursday. what is the aim of this mission? well, apart trialling out i or thursday. what is the aim of this mission? well, apart trialling out a| mission? well, apart trialling out a brand-new — mission? well, apart trialling out a brand-new craft, _ mission? well, apart trialling out a brand-new craft, and _ mission? well, apart trialling out a brand-new craft, and giving - mission? well, apart trialling out a| brand-new craft, and giving nasser brand—new craft, and giving nasser another option other than the dragon to capsule, that's another thing, a dry to help make space cheaper. and the other thing actually, the international space station got seven people on board at the moment. —— nasa. there you're their pump is broken on wednesday. and so one of the things that this craft was supposed to do is bring in new pumps to the space station is at the moment they have to store their wee. �* , ., ., the moment they have to store their wee. �*, ., ., ., ., , wee. let's move on to a very successful— wee. let's move on to a very successful thing _ wee. let's move on to a very successful thing yesterday. l wee. let's move on to a very i successful thing yesterday. just take us through this chinese omission which did [and successfully

on the far side of the moon. absolutely, it's hotting up, lots of space activity going on on the usa and chinese side, so this craft is the first to attempt to retrieve lunar soil from the far side. the first to attempt to retrieve lunar soilfrom the far side. it the first to attempt to retrieve lunar soil from the far side. it has landed and it is now going to use an excavator arm and a drill to drill into the far side. it has landed at the south pole on the far side of the south pole on the far side of the moon, with some of the deepest terrain on the moon and also it is ringed by some of the tallest mountains on the moon. in fact, it's one of the largest craters we know of so it appears a very long time ago in history something very large smashed into it, as far as we can tell a mixture of material on the moon and that region looks very different from the material the apollo astronauts retrieved so it will be very interesting to learn a lot about the moon by recovering material from that place. there is a

big aim, china are intending to put people on the moon by 2030, and the usa are obviously gearing up to do the same. and the intention for both of these countries is to have more of these countries is to have more of a permanent presence to build space stations, lunar bases, to live and work on the moon, so this is a very, very exciting time. fascinating. how exciting. we have to leave it there. thank you so much for taking time to speak to us. we will watch on wednesday for that next attempt. that's all from us. we're back tomorrow at six. have a good sunday. bye— bye.
